In 1980, Prince released an album that sorta shook up America.
The cover featured a picture of him dressed in a pair of black Speedos and a scarf around his neck...nothing else.
He was standing in front of a box spring mattress.
The album was entitled " Dirty Mind."
Back in the late 70s and early 80s, Prince Rodgers Nelson was an enigma. He sang about stuff most people only thought about...sex, drugs, sex, sex and more sex.
The songs on the album are very indicative of this. First is "Dirty Mind" which has a chorus of "In my daddy's car...it's you I really wanta drive...underneath the stars.", and "Head" which is about the joys of oral sex.
Then there's "Sister" which explores the world of incest and "Uptown" which discusses gay life.
There is also 'When You Were Mine" a great little song about unrequited love.
You can buy this LP on amazon.com and I have to tell you it is for adult ears only but it is worth a spot in your record collection.
